Cauliflower and Tuna Salad image

I have added tuna to a classic Italian antipasto of cauliflower and capers dressed with vinegar and olive oil. For the best results give the cauliflower lots of time to marinate.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large or 2 small or medium cauliflowers, broken into small florets
1 5-ounce can water-packed light (not albacore) tuna, drained
1 plump garlic clove, minced or pureéd
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the cauliflower in a steaming basket over 1 inch of boiling water, cover and steam 1 minute. Lift the lid for 15 seconds, then cover again and steam for 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Refresh with cold water, then drain on paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, break up the tuna fish and add the cauliflower.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the garlic, parsley, capers, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower and toss together. Marinate, stirring from time to time, for 30 minutes if possible before serving. Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature.
